Bristol at a glance
Half of Bristol's homes were built before 1967, which makes it a mid-century city at heart. Original driveways, patios and steps from that building boom are coming due at about the same time.
Single-family homes make up 54% of Bristol's housing; the rest is condos, two-families and apartments, which brings property managers and associations into the mix.
The median home in Bristol was built in 1967, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door New Britain (median 1956) and older than Southington (1973).
| Median year homes were built | 1967 |
|---|---|
| Homes built before 1960 | 40% |
| Single-family detached homes | 54% |
| Owner-occupied homes | 65% |
| Population, 2024 estimate | 62,195 |

By property
Building in Bristol
- Slopes
- Steep lots and streets mean retaining walls, long stair runs, and driveways that need traction and drainage.
- Right-of-way
- Most Bristol streets have public sidewalks and curbs, so aprons and walks usually need a city permit.
- Permits
- Connecticut has one statewide building code, so footings go 42 inches deep in Bristol like everywhere else. What's local is the paperwork: Bristol's building department for structures, public works or engineering for the right-of-way, and the inland wetlands commission near water.
- Utilities
- We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before every excavation.
